Spades Card Games

Spades card games are one of the most popular games on the internet all over the
world. It is the highest ranking card in a pack of cards. It is basically a partnership
game. The object of this game is to bid a contract for you and your partner, then
skillfully play your cards in coordination with each other to make the contract.

Requirements
1) It is basically a four player game and is played in partnerships. 2) Spades
requires a pack of 52 cards and can also be played with jokers.

How
to play

1) The trump suit is always Spades. The highest card in the trump suit always
wins the trick. If no trump cards are played, the trick goes to the highest card
of the suit led. The person who leads off a round determines the suit led. For
example, if a player leads off a round by playing a 10 of Hearts, then Hearts
is the suit led. 2) The player to the right of the dealer always leads first.
Play proceeds clockwise. Each player in turn must follow suit. If a player holds
no cards of the suit led, that player may play any card. 4) Players who lead may
play any card they want, with one exception: No player may lead with a Spade until
Spades have been broken. 3) The play continues until all 13 tricks have been
played.

The
players get 10 points for each trick bid. Additionally they get extra points for
every overtrick.

You
can ask a player to note down the points so that everything goes in order. This
will help any confusion between the players. This also helps the players to have
a check on everyones total scoring.
